[Machine] He informed him that they had a container with dates in it. Ubayy was responsible for it, so he found it to be decreasing, and he guarded it. Then he saw a creature resembling a young boy. He said, "I give my greetings," and the creature replied with a return of greetings. So I said, "Are you a jinn or a human?" The creature said, "I am a jinn." He said, "Extend your hand to me," and the creature extended its hand. Then he saw a hand resembling a dog's hand and hair like a dog's hair. He said, "This is how the jinn are created." Ubayy said to him, "What made you do what you did?" The creature said, "We heard that you are a man who loves charity, so we wanted to share in your food." Ubayy said, "What will protect us from you?" The creature said, "This is the Ayat al-Kursi." Then Ubayy went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "The impure one has spoken the truth."
